With an increase in awareness about conservation of resources and lowering of carbon footprint, more and more developers are offering solutions in both residential and commercial spaces. Reports say that at present India has more than 1000 billion sq ft of green spaces. The number is expected to double in the coming years.

Though the concept of green homes is still developing, so you have to choose your projects carefully. But because of lack of awareness, one might have to wait longer to get a good resale price. :) :)

The new trend of green homes which use solar energy and do rainwater harvesting has gained a momentum in the last few years. There are Indian High Net worth Individuals (HNI) who are socially conscious and are opting for these uber cool, expensive (9 % higher than the normal homes) and chic residences to reduce their carbon footprint on the ecology.

The wealthy and the prudent are all set to invest in the measures to harness solar power and rainwater along with expensive bathroom fittings, Jacuzzi, sauna bath, marble tiles and expensive interiors. The greenery in these lush green projects regulate the inside temperature reducing the expenses on air conditioning and artificial ventilation. These green homes are in perfect sync with nature and your entire family will breathe easy while living in them.
